Free concerts all weekend in Dunkirk as part of the Summer of Kite
To wrap up summer the right way before the tough return to school, Dunkirk is the place to be this weekend! On Friday, August 30, a festive evening is planned as part of the Summer of Kite event. What’s on the schedule? Free concerts to enjoy one of the last summer evenings. Starting at 7 PM, DJ Oldman will spin some vintage tracks, followed by the band Codeine.DK with their sharp riffs and a 70's vibe. The night will close out with the FFF, Fédération Française de Fonck, who will set Dunkirk ablaze at 9:30 PM with their fusion rock, mixing funk and rock in a unique style!
And that's not all! The next day, the fun continues with DJ Swyng and U2 Project to reconnect with the essence of the legendary group. The concerts will take place on the casino plaza. While they are free, we still recommend reserving your spot here to gain access to the plaza and fully enjoy the atmosphere ! The fireworks will be set off this Saturday, August 31st at 10:30 PM.
International Vetex Orchestra at St So
"Every Friday this summer, lille3000 brings you a musical evening. This last Friday of the summer season features: THE INTERNATIONAL VETEX ORCHESTRA! This cross-border collective has created its own unique sound and musical world: their colorful music is a bit of a wild mix of Balkan tunes with Latin inspiration, blended with tarantella, polka, and cumbia. All wrapped up in a lovely punky package!"

The Summer Festivities of the Treille
"At the moment when the summer sun lights up the translucent marble facade of Peter Rice and the rose window by Ladislas Kijno, that’s when the music echoes under the vaults of the cathedral, blending neo-Gothic and contemporary styles, touching the hearts of the audience in unison with the artists. Started in 2016, The Summer Festivities of the Treille are known for their eclecticism, celebrating classical music while adding a sprinkle of traditional music and a hint of organ, which is warmly welcomed since the organ of Lille Cathedral is one of the largest in Europe."
